Josh Freed is a filmmaker who turns the camera on his own love life in his latest film, Five Weddings and a Felony, as he grapples with his fear of commitment while surrounded by friends growing up and getting married. We’re screening the film at 92YTribeca on November 30 and Freed will be present for a post-screening Q&A.

Today, Freed is also the subject of the 92Y Culture Klatsch Q&A.

How much do you use Twitter and Facebook (or other social networking services)?
A lot. After years of hard work I’ve mastered the wasting time part of social networking. Still working on the successfully-promoting-myself/my work-through-them part. Follow me @Jishky.

What book are you currently reading (or the last one you read)? Print or digital?
Laughter in Hell: The Use of Humor During the Holocaust by Steve Lipman. There are some decent jokes in there. Print – I still prefer books with paper pages.

Only one and it’s more than enough: The New Yorker.

All Time: “Seinfeld,” “Six Feet Under,” “Sopranos,” “Arrested Development”

The Skin I Live In. Some of it was torture to watch but Almodovar is an insane genius.

What’s the last performance (dance/opera/theater) you attended?
Shakespeare in the Park: All’s Well That Ends Well. It rained so it didn’t end so well for me.

Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams and Bon Iver. Both great purchases.

“RadioLab,” “This American Life,” “The Moth,” “Planet Money,” “Mechon Hadar” (for the lingering yeshiva boy inside me)

3-way-tie: A photograph my Dad took in China, a drawing my Dad did during a faculty meeting, an abstract painting by my friend Joey Siegel.

Shul (synagogue), riverside or central park; play guitar, sing, walk, breathe deeply.
